Just a small feature I'd like to ask for to enable a feature in one of my eras to not be a problem.

Could a change be implemented that would make it so that while a factions leader is unknown, the flag shown appears to be the default flag?

The reason I'd like this is that in the Era of Four Moons the factions have different flags, even in multiplayer. However, due to the little indicator shown at the top, this spoils what faction your enemy is playing.

"There are two kinds of old men in the world. The kind who didn't go to war and who say that they should have lived fast died young and left a handsome corpse and the old men who did go to war and who say that there is no such thing as a handsome corpse."

Although, what would be the exact correct behavior? Should the enemy faction flag be revealed if you can see even one of their units? If factions share units (such as Mage in Default Era), then that could in rare cases reveal the enemy faction prematurely, although in practise I believe that would be a rather insignificant problem. Ideally I think the flag would be revealed only when the units you can see uniquely identify the enemy faction, but that might or might not be easy to write.

@Eagle: Your opening gambit is pretty important in multiplayer. Having advanced assurance of your opponents faction can allow you to make rushes that normally would be too risky against an unknown faction (practically an instant loss vs some enemy factions) but can be guaranteed to give you a strong advantage/initiative if your opponent is unfortunate enough to be the wrong faction.
